Holman Christian Standard Bible

³⁰ Then Ahijah took hold of the new cloak he had on, tore it into 12 pieces,^{(A) 31} and said to Jeroboam, “Take 10 pieces for yourself, for this is what the Lord God of Israel says: ‘I am about to tear the kingdom out of Solomon’s hand. I will give you 10 tribes, ³² but one tribe will remain his because of my servant David^(B) and because of Jerusalem, the city I chose out of all the tribes of Israel.^(C)
